Veggie Black Bean Enchiladas

Description

These Veggie Black Bean Enchiladas are a flavorful and hearty dish featuring a blend of sautéed vegetables and black beans wrapped in tortillas and topped with a homemade enchilada sauce and melted cheese. Perfect for a nutritious weeknight dinner or a casual gathering, these enchiladas are both satisfying and customizable.

Ingredients

For the Enchiladas:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1 small yellow squash, diced
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 810 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

For the Enchilada Sauce:

  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Sliced avocado
  • Jalapeños
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  • Prepare the Enchilada Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and let the sauce cook for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, red bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash, and sauté for another 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the black beans, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Assemble the Enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. To assemble each enchilada, spoon a few tablespoons of the veggie and black bean mixture into the center of a tortilla. Sprinkle with a little cheese, then roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas, making sure to cover them evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
  • Bake the Enchiladas: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve: Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, avocado slices, or any of your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Ensure the tortillas are not too moist before rolling them to avoid sogginess.
  • You can make the enchilada sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
